I would first talk a little bit of their history, so we can have an idea of how BK became well-known, first im going to start by illustrating when it first stated and then how they continue to expand. I would go ahead and focus on some of their main facts. Im going to begin by where it first began back in 1954, founded by two individuals, David Edgerton and James McLamore in Miami, Florida. In where by 1955, they introduce their famous whopper burger, which lead BK to become the home of the whopper. By 1959, BK started franchising; in 1960, BK transformed their logo targeting children leading to have their slogan to “Where kids, are kings”. BK has around more than 12,000 restaurants, making it 90% franchise and 10 % corporate, everything first started in the US and eventually across the world, in 1963 first outside restaurant opened in Puerto Rico. In 1967, they partnered with Pillsbury Company, they purchase BK. One of their famous year, is when they introduced their famous slogan in 1974, “HAVE IT YOUR WAY” which means having your burger custom made with topping and condiments of your choice. It also became a foundation, for funds for a better future for college students as well as the McLamore foundation. In my opinion having a good slogan can bring the audience to be familiar with their food. In 1978, BK introduces a new line of sandwiches to their menu, adding new chicken, fish, and ham sandwiches. By 1998, burger king updates once again to a new logo to keep on their improvements yet keeping their same slogan. Another main year for BK was in 2007, when they celebrated their 50th anniversary, and had the bright idea to scare their customers by claiming their wasn’t any whopper burger in their menu to any further extent, which lead to the “Whopper Freakouts.” One of their recent updates was in 2009, when their first 20/20 restaurant opened in Spring TX, having a modern design that would eventually make every single BK to have a new image, the

    Five Guys’ ingredients keeping their business strategy simple (menu just burgers and fries) while carry out quick and essential cooking procedures (no timers in the kitchens, fries must be shaken fifteen times, no more, no less), burgers are press down just once this keeps the juice in them so they won’t be dry.

    John Fremont McCullough (Grandpa) and his son Alex McCullough first developed the soft serve formula in 1938. They persuaded Herb Noble, friend and customer, to offer the product at his ice cream store in Kankakee, Illinois. It kicked off on good footing as Noble managed to dish out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert within just two hours on its first day. Father and son then set out to open the first Dairy Queen outlet in Joliet, Illinois in the year 1940. This Dairy Queen store is no longer in operation but the building it was located in-at 501 N Chicago St-still stands. Since 1940, Dairy Queen expanded its operations internationally by applying the franchising system. In 1941, DQ had 10 stores and by 1947, had increased them to 100. By 1955, 2,600 stores were in operation. In 1953, the first store was opened in Canada in Estevan, Saskatchewan. Majority of its stores are situated in the United States and mostly Texas. Dairy Queen’s parent company is Dairy Queen International but in the United States, it operates under American Dairy Queen. It is a totally owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The symbolic DQ logo was introduced in 1959 and has been undergoing gradual metamorphosis since then to better suit the changing times. Today, the “DQ” font has been modified and letters italicized, as well as two arced lines, the orange one above representing hot foods and the blue arc below symbolizing its ice cream products. In 1962, the company became International Dairy Queen (IDQ) and later in 1998 acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. During the 1950s and 1960s, Dairy Queens were a hallmark of social life in the towns found in Southern and Midwestern United States. With regard to that, they have thus come to symbolize life in small towns of America.…

    During the early 1990s, opportunities in South East Asian markets became increasingly important to American and European retailers seeking to sustain their international growth rates. In particular, the less developed markets of South East Asia began to attract attention which they had previously not received. This was in contrast to earlier expansion patterns among European international retailers. Before the early 1990s, retailers have tended to look towards Europe and North America, rather than East Asia to grab international growth opportunities.…

    Since most McDonalds have the same menu, it provides an easy economy of scale. McDonalds has more than 32,000 restaurants around the world (Economies of scale). When McDonalds places an order, they don’t go and buy individual items, they receive them from a local wholesaler just like any other independent restaurant (Economies of scale). “McDonald’s is the world’s largest buyer of eggs; therefore they are able to negotiate the very best unit cost per egg during their enormous volume purchase and passing those savings onto their franchise owners” (Economies of scale). Since McDonalds receives the best price, they are able to place a egg sandwich together and sell it to their customers for a competitive price (Economies of scale). Bulk buying for McDonald’s helps in the long run because they save money for purchasing merchandise at lower unit prices instead of purchasing from an independent business which would be higher (Economies of scale).…

The article explains if you dont take the time to make strategic plans for environment the facility you work could get lose money, staff, or even close down.
